his family's mausoleum


i would like to share these pictures of moro weapons displayed at the prestigious McKinley presidential library in canton, ohio taken yesterday. what i find ironic is, it was during McKinley's tenure when the Phil-Am War started. full circle, i guess. nevertheless, it opened a lot of people's eyes about a war that is almost forgotten. also, a lecture was presented by Barry Pritchard, whose grandfather (M.J. Dowling) was the first westerner to interview the sultan.
enjoy!

Side Note About The Library
 

That Library museum was funded in part by a tiny gold coin issued by the US mint ; the McKinley Dollar .

Now worth $500. :cool:

you're welcome, all! the display was taken down yesterday afternoon...
neat tidbit, rick! didn't know that..

Ho brah. It takes a lot of work doing what you did. Carefully packing da delicate ivory pieces. I recently moved and bubble packing hilts and scabbards is a big chore. Good job on the dispay, keep up the good work.

Thank you for sharing!

Bro, you are my idol!!! :D

Yeah,
That was beautifully done .

Best thing ?

No glass in the way !

lol, yeah, it was a pain but at the end it was worth it. the least i can do for these treasures.
